I saw on Trading Spaces they primed painted and polyed a counter top, but it was formica. I'm wondering if I can do the same thing to a formica counter top?? Don't have alot of money to redo them right now thought this would be a easy cheap way to do this until I can redo them...If I can't do this does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to cover these 70's yellow ugly counter tops up??? Thanks...Have a merry Christmas!!

Benjamin Moore Paint Company's web site has a prior project on painting "formica" counter tops. It includes steps, materials, and technique.
